## What is Wishbox?

Wishbox: Savings & Budget is a fresh, stress-free approach to managing your finances. Built on a budgeting method we’ve used successfully for many years, Wishbox helps you track daily spending, stick to a budget, and save for the things that truly matter.

- MEET YOUR FINANCIAL AI ASSISTANT (It's cute): Managing money has never been easier. Type or speak to the assistant: "Add an expense of $50 for groceries." "Give me insights on my last 3 months." "Create an emergency fund of $2,000 to reach in one year." "Check my transactions for duplicates." The assistant can analyze your spending, help reduce financial anxiety, and import transactions from text or a bank export. If a change was not what you meant, you can revert it from the chat. Our cute 3D mascot keeps you company in the assistant and when you complete a goal.

- FUN FACT: You can turn a finished month or a budget into a Brick Puzzle.

- SAVE FOR YOUR WISHES (ENVELOPE BUDGETING): Create a Wishbox item for your goals, like a summer trip, a new gadget, or an emergency fund. Set a target date or a fixed monthly deposit, and allocate money from your bank or wallet. Organize goals into folders, withdraw saved money when plans change, and celebrate with our cute 3D mascot when a goal is complete.

- BUDGETS: Set a spending target for targeted categories and watch what is left through the month. You can set multiple budgets with different targets or periods (monthly, weekly, daily, custom). Open a category to review its subcategories, and see the percentage you have already used.

- TRACK EXPENSES & INCOME: Log your daily transactions. Edit multiple transactions at once from the list. Create custom categories and subcategories to see exactly where your money is going.

- SHARE & COLLABORATE: Manage finances together. Sync a Wishbox source with your partner or accountant to track joint expenses and shared savings goals in real time. Your other sources stay on your device.

- PRIVATE BY DESIGN: Your financial data is yours. Wishbox keeps your data on your device. Only a source you choose to share, or a backup you choose to store, goes online.

- INSIGHTS & WIDGETS: Check your progress at a glance. Home screen widgets show your month balance, category spending, and savings. In the app, deposit into several Wishbox items for the current month, use Keep Up to catch missed transactions, or turn a finished month or a budget into a Brick Puzzle. You can set multiple widgets to different screens, give a name and also add them to your home screen.

- IPHONE, IPAD, MAC, AND APPLE WATCH: Wishbox runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. iPad and Mac use a layout made for a larger screen, including right-click menus on Mac. On Apple Watch, log a transaction by voice with a single button from the watch face.

We built the Wishbox logic to fix our own finances, and it changed our lives for the better. We hope it helps change yours, too!
